Kevin Durant (foot) did some light shooting before Thursday's game against the Suns

This is great news. Durant was rolling around shootaround on a walking scooter on Tuesday, so this is a clear indication that they were just being very careful with his foot. We still do not have a timetable for his return and he's likely to need more than another week off. His fantasy owners should be hoping for a limited practice in the coming days. While he's out, D.J. Augustin and Dion Waiters will help Russell Westbrook with the scoring. Feb 26 - 8:13 PM

Kevin Durant (foot) was seen at Thunder shootaround on the walking scooter that he was using earlier in the year.

While this isn't hugely surprising news, it's certainly not a great sign for a quick return. Durant was also seen walking without much of a limp towards the end of practice, but we'll know more about his timetable when he's re-evaluated again in one week. Russell Westbrook will be the biggest fantasy beneficiary of Durant's absence, but Kyle Singler, Dion Waiters, D.J. Augustin, and Enes Kanter will all stand to see a small boost as well.

Kevin Durant underwent a procedure to reduce the pain and discomfort he's been feeling in his right foot on Sunday, and he will be re-evaluated in one week.

The procedure was to replace the screw he had in his foot with a new one, but it is unrelated to the foot fracture that he had surgery on, and his foot is reportedly healing as expected. He will be sidelined for at least the next week, and it's possible he sits longer as OKC will be cautious with their franchise player heading into the playoffs. Russell Westbrook is going to be an absolute monster with Durant sidelined, while Kyle Singler, Dion Waiters, and Perry Jones will also have the opportunity to step up in OKC's rotation.

KD was clearly laboring during Thursday's game against the Mavericks and after he sat out of practice on Friday, his owners probably saw this coming. He hasn't been ruled out of Sunday's game vs. the Nuggets, and he is going to be monitored on a day-to-day basis moving forward. Head coach Scott Brooks hasn't yet decided who will start in Durant's place, but Kyle Singler, Dion Waiters and Perry Jones should all be in the mix. However, whenever Durant sits, Russell Westbrook is going to be an absolute animal on offense. Feb 21 - 11:46 AM

Russell Westbrook (face) is likely to return to action as soon as Wednesday, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports.

This isn't set in stone just yet, but Westbrook is expected to play with a protective mask on Wednesday barring an unforeseen setback. We'll update his status after Wednesday's shootaround, but Westbrook's owners can feel free to slot him back into their lineups while D.J. Augustin will return to the bench.

Steven Adams (hand) worked on some post moves prior to Thursday's game against the Suns.

He was given a three-week timetable after he had surgery on his hand on Feb. 9th, so he should be closing in on a return. We will continue to pass along updates on Adams' status, but he will likely return to a bench role now that Enes Kanter is in town. It's safe to leave Adams on the wire in standard leagues until further notice.
